D. Requires toxic chemicals to be removed from contaminated buildings
The toxic substances control act (TSCA) of 1976 was passed to provide the EPA with
authority to trace the use and regulate more than 75,000 industrial chemicals produced
or imported into the US. It provides the EPA with the authority to ban the production and
import of such chemicals that present an unreasonable risk; however it does not
provide a removal process for existing contamination.
Which of the following is NOT a result of the Toxic Substances Control Act?
A. Allows the EPA to regulate the production of commercial chemicals
B. Allows the EPA to prevent shipments of toxic chemicals to the US
C. Allows the EPA to trace shipments of chemicals entering the US
D. Requires toxic chemicals to be removed from buildings contaminated by them
B. is the interior floor area excluding vertical penetrations through the floor
The rentable area is the occupant area times a load factor to account for the shared
portions of the building.
It is important that the interior designer confirm how the building owner bases the
rentable area, either by applying the BOMA/IFMA standards, or by using a load factor
amount applied to the market conditions in the local area for the leased space.
The client wants one to design a new office space for them. In this regard, the lease
states that there is a rentable space of 8,000 square feet available for use to develop the
office.
,This area:
A. is the floor area inhabitable by the tenant
B. is the interior floor area excluding vertical penetrations through the floor
C. contains the floor space within the exterior face of the building including the exterior
wall
D. gives the best method of calculating your design fee for a commercial project
B. 10,000 sqft
Rentable area is the product of usable times the rentable-usuable ratio. The usable area
includes the net assignable area plus allowance for circulation, so no increase for this is
required. Rentable = Usable (rentable-usuable ratio) = (8000 sqft) x (1.25) = 10,000 sqft
A designer has determined that a client needs about 8000 ft2 of usable office space.
The leasing agent for the building says that the rentable-usable ratio will be 1.25.
Approximately how much area should the interior designer recommend that the client
lease?
A. 13,300 sqft
B. 10,000 sqft
C. 7500 sqft
D. 10,700 sqft
,B. 16'-0"
For instance, when 2 exits are required from a room or space the minimum distance
between exits is taken from 1/3 of the diagonal of the space for sprinklered buildings:
1/2 of the diagonal for non-sprinklered buildings.
Below is a picture of a space that has been determined to be an Assembly Occupancy
which requires 2 exits. The building is fully sprinklered.
What is the minimum required distance between exits, noted as value 'L'?
A. 12'-0"
B. 16'-0"
C. There is no minimum distance when the building is sprinklered throughout
D. 24'-0"
B. Identify low-emitting interior finishes
An interior designer has the most control over interior finishes that are specified. An
interior designer would not typically specify windows or HVAC systems. The cleaning
chemicals used in the space might be controlled by the maintenance staff in that
building and not by the interior designer.
What could the interior designer do to improve IAQ?
A. Supply outdoor air into the space through the HVAC system
B. Specify low-emitting interior finishes
C. Specify non-toxic cleaning chemicals
, D. Specify operable windows to admit fresh air
Safety glazing, that is, either tempered glass or laminated glass, is to be used in those
locations subject to human impact that present a specific hazard, such as indoors and
shower enclosures.
Safety glazing in hazardous locations is required by codes to prevent injury. For the
most part, hazardous locations are those subject to human impact including glass
doors, shower and bath enclosures, and certain locations in walls.
The exact requirements are given in the Code of Federal Regulations 16 CFR 1201,
safety standard for architectural glazing materials. Tempered or laminated glass is
considered safety glazing. The IBC also allow glazing materials to comply with ANSI
Z97.
The following questions relate to glass. Read each question carefully and select the
appropriate response.
You have been tasked to design a custom glass shower enclosure in a high-end
residential project. Which of the following types of glass would be an appropriate choice
for this project?
A. floating glass
B. patterned glass that has passed the testing requirements of 16CFR 1201, Category II
C. laminated or patterned glass
D. tempered or laminated glass that has passed the testing requirements of 16 CFR
1201, Category II
C. WaterSense
WaterSense is a program of the EPA that helps consumers identify water efficient
programs and products by the WaterSense Label.
